NYC Meetup 2007

[Unimaxium]

Looks like I get to be the one to start the thread :cheer:

I think I got some really nice photos in New York this weekend. I'm itching to share them, so I'll post a small first load now (I'd do more, but really should get to sleep). Enjoy :)

1. One of the first shots I took in Manhattan; taken just after leaving Calumet Photo where I rented a 24mm lens for a day (at the moment my bag only has a 50mm and a lensbaby in it, and I really wanted a wide angle for NYC).

2. Near our hotel, there was some kind of famine memorial that had some cool looking stone and stuff. In the background is the World Financial Center.

3. Construction. I like taking photos of construction because I know that some day, in perhaps a year or two, there will be a complete building there, and that people will forget what was in that place before. ;-)

4. From on top of the famine memorial thing. The photo above was taken from about the same location, but facing about 90° to the left. Our hotel is that building on the left. The World Financial Center is on the right. Ground zero is down the street (hard to see at this size)

5. Jersey City, taken from the waterfront near our hotel. This is actually part of a panorama that I plan to post later

6. A long exposure in Times Square

Hey folks, I am really, really, really curious to see many more of your photos, also photos of MEMBERS! Though it looks good to see pics from NYC again (it'll soon be a year since we were there, imagine that: another YEAR! *shakes head in disbelief about how fast time flies*)

[GoM]

Pinstriped. Freakin. Pants.

Me wantey....

[clarinetJWD]

Holy kamoly, Joe, that's a sweet first post of pics...I love the ones of Sky and 'Grace'

Thanks a ton! Unfortunately, it's also the last bunch...I wasn't as productive as I usually like to be...

[clarinetJWD]

Corry! I love the gulls...mouthes open. :lol:

THe evil sky is very well focused (compositionally) and processed. Nice work!

[LaFoto]

Joe :shock: - these are your ONE AND ONLY pics from the meet-up!?!?!
You are kidding us.
Tell me that you are!
You can't mean that.
Must NOT mean that!
Eh!?!?!?

Corry, what a cool series.
Good to see Chris again (hey, that beard is gone, only a moustache stayed!), and to see Jim and Dave for the first time as photos. This is what I so like about meet-up pics! We get to see our members and can put faces to their screennames (and real names to them :D).

[Unimaxium]

Wow, everything's so awesome... especially the ones of me (just kidding)

I so want to post more right now... but must... go to class... arrrrrgh

[Corry]

Wow, everything's so awesome... especially the ones of me (just kidding)



Pfffft! You were not!



.....or at least I'm not. You're too easy to photograph...so yeah, the pics of you are awesome, if I do say so myself. :greenpbl:

[Arch]

great job guys... looks like a blast... one of these days you may have to put up with an english guy on one of your meetups ;)

[Corry]

great job guys... looks like a blast... one of these days you may have to put up with an english guy on one of your meetups ;)

We already did! :lol: Whaddaya think the 'brit' in NYbrit stands for? :-P


....but we'd BETTER have to put up with an English Angel someday. I demand it.

[LaFoto]

Heehee, and I can only recommend it.
He's good to have around for meet-ups! I know! :biggrin:

Can't wait to have you ALL over in May 2008!
That will be the ultimate BLAST! (I hope it'll come about in the way I am dreaming it up!)

[terri]

Wonderful shots, everybody! :thumbup: Looks like you all had a good outing.

Jim - so nice to put a face with our esteemed TPF author. ;) Hope you kept that rowdy bunch in line!

Glad it was so fantastic. Looking forward to more pictures! :)

[Puscas]

looks good! The pics and the meetup. I can't get enough of pics from NY. And Corry, the seagull is hilarious!









pascal

[rmh159]

I was in NYC at the same time but didn't realize there was a meet-up... *smacks forehead. I ALSO had trouble getting good nite shots without a tripod handy but damn that Gorillapod must've come in handy *smacks forehead again.

:lol:

[lostprophet]

great shots everyone

[Big Mike]

Excellent shots, looks like a good time was had by all.

[Unimaxium]

Here's my second load of photos, in no particular order:

10. Corry and Joe at the B&H superstore on Sunday. I took this by sticking my CF card in the demo 1Ds MkII model they had ;-)
http://homepage.mac.com/skyboy/Photos/nyc2k7/nyc10.jpg

11. Another at B&H, this time taken with a 5D (I stuck my own 50mm lens on it for this one). I didn't realize until I looked at the EXIF data that the cam was set to ISO 1600, hehe. Seems to have some kind of high-ISO banding issue or something...
http://homepage.mac.com/skyboy/Photos/nyc2k7/nyc29.jpg

12. Corry's camera
http://homepage.mac.com/skyboy/Photos/nyc2k7/nyc11.jpg

25. The next three are probably my three favorite shots from the whole meetup. These were taken on Sunday in the lobby of our hotel (it had a bright yellow wall)

That's the majority of my photos; I still might have a few more coming though
I have a few panoramas and HDRs that I still have to piece together

[Corry]

I LOVE the look on Joe's face in the one of the two of us! :lol: (and I totally want a print of that one!)

You got a lot of good ones, Sky...and the one of the ceiling in the hotel is a definitely a Joe shot. Good job on snaggin that one. :P

That first picture of me on the subway, leaning against the bar....was taken about 1/2 a second before the train suddenly started to brake, and I broke Joe's sunglasses! :lol:

[digital flower]

We already did! :lol: Whaddaya think the 'brit' in NYbrit stands for? :-P

Yeah, he even had that funny accent :wink: :lol:

I am enjoying seeing everybody’s pictures. You really got some nice shots. You three are serious and talented photographers. I haven’t looked at all of my pictures but thought I would post a couple.

A couple of quick comments on the photos:

Sky, I love the JC night shot, I hope you post the pano. I see that you posted some more pictures while I was writing this so I will have a look at them.

Joe, #2-5-14 for me. You handled the exposure at the Seaport very well. The tones and slight angle work well on the Times Square shot.

Corry! Thanks for capturing the personal side of things. That is an angle that works well for you.
What happened to the feet on #15? :er:

Here are a few of my shots

#1 Group Therapy
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/digitalflowerpictures/tpf5w.jpg

#2 We’re off to see the wizard. I see some people have the sense to walk on the sidewalk
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/digitalflowerpictures/tpf1w.jpg

#3 I am sure you are smiling in this one, Dave. Thanks for watching out for the correct train.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/digitalflowerpictures/tpf3w.jpg

#4 South Street Seaport. Jim had some interesting information on the fleet.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/digitalflowerpictures/tpf4w.jpg

#5 I had to post a picture of the most photographed bird in NYC. If cameras shot bullets instead of pictures this would have been one dead duck. I’m talking total Swiss cheese. :lol:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/digitalflowerpictures/tpf5xw.jpg

[Corry]

Great shots, Chris! I really like #2! :)


And in #15...there were focus issues, and this one was the one that was the best. :P

[Big Mike]

Why is Sky always trying to bounce his flash while outdoors? :razz:

[oldnavy170]

Looked like a good time. Nice photos!

[Corry]

I went looking back through my pictures to see if there was any more worth editing, specifically of Joe, because there seems to be a lack of Joe shots from me this time around. :P

....I found ONE more...plus three more of Sky....so there is still a Joe famine. Oh well...I'll make up for it when I go back out there in two weeks. :-P

[EBphotography]

Awesome photos guys. Favorites so far:

Grace from Joe's set.

Sky's portraits with the yellow wall.

Corry's seagull shots.

Gull by Joe.

Corry, #19 on yours looks like it could be on the front of the DVD case of a TV show. :P Just has that look I guess.

Great shots.

[AIRIC]

Fantastic work everyone. Looks like it was a great time.

Eric

[bnz506]

OOO I like, more great shots by everyone (too many to comment on individually)

Corry silver camera?!??! Eeeewwwwwww
Judges what do you think?
Randy - *deep breath* "ssss ahhhhhh dog, dog it just dont work for me"
Simon - "absolutely dreadful"
Paula - "you have very pretty iiiieeeeeeyes"

Im just kidding... :wink:

[Unimaxium]

Why is Sky always trying to bounce his flash while outdoors? :razz:

Cause you're supposed to tilt the flash when you use the sto fen omni bounce. Sez so on their FAQ on the website. I don't know if it actually makes a difference, but I do it anyway.
;-)

[Unimaxium]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/core_17/New%20York%20City%202007/NYCSky9SM.jpg

EWWWWW I'm ugly in that one

[Unimaxium]

Oh, btw... I just figured out what was happening on the brooklyn bridge the day we were at the South Street Seaport:
from http://thepoliticker.observer.com/2007/03/events-for-march-1012-2007.html
Events for March 10-12, 2007
[...]
10 a.m. Tibetans, students and supporters commemorate the 1959 Tibetan uprising against China by meeting at Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn, marching across the Brooklyn Bridge, and rallying at Dag Hammerskjold Plaza, at 47th Street and First Avenue, and then gathering at Union Square, 14th Street and Broadway.

[Corry]

EWWWWW I'm ugly in that one

You SOOOO are not! I liked the scrunched up squinty face. :P

[ShootHoops]

Great shots everybody! :)

[digital flower]

Sky and Corry thanks for posting some more photos. Here are a few more of my snapshots.

;-)

I know...I'm just giving you a hard time. :razz:
Although I see many photographers do use the onmibounce outdoors like that, it's really only useful when it's actually bouncing off a ceiling etc. When used like that, it's forcing your flash to work much, much harder because only a portion of the light is going forward and coming back to the lens. On top of that, it doesn't really increase the size of the light source so it doesn't make the light any softer.

Or maybe I'm on crack because you seem to have made some great shots :confused: :lol:

[Corry]

Chris, #4, and your title of it made me laugh! I love that last one! So bummed out that my CF card filled (and then the next one malfunctioned) JUUUST as I was going to take a picture of those guys! I think you got a good capture of it though!

[bnz506]

OH MY GOOSE!!!!

I finally found out who Jim reminds me of:

"So um.....when are we going back? Next week? Can we go back next week?"


Corry:

You, and the rest of the gang, have a permanent 'Open Sesame' at my house. It was an honor to meet all of you.

And the 'non-person' shot using a part of the Grace Building is one absolutely delightful composition. You really displayed your photographic chops with that one.

Seeing all these great pics makes me sad I missed the meet up. When's the next one?

[CrazyAva]

Wow, I am jealous. I wish I could get to know all you guys and meet up. I am on another forum (not photog related) where I have met almost everyone I have talked to. I need to get to know the photographers :lol:

Heh....well, Joe, Sky, and I are having a mini one in 13 days (my birthday celebration!)

...not sure when the next BIG public planned one will be though.

This mini one is very up in the air as to how it's going to go, and where are are going to be one what days, so it'd be kinda hard to start a thread about it.

Thanks! I'll be on the East Coast from the 14th (a thursday) through the 19th (tuesday). We'll be spending time in Baltimore, DC, and hopefully Philly over the weekend.

Hahaha, yeah right! I can't even get to WA which is only 2 states away. I highly doubt I can make it to Germany! Oh how much fun that would be though.
